Part 3.2, Revocalization

On that gig on July 2011, we noticed that constant high-pitched vocals was not a good choice in the long run. It was taxing and frankly, we started to feel it was getting a bit monotonic too. So, perhaps not even intentionally, as we started to re-record some of the demos for the third album, we found a new, improved way for Tomi to use his vocals in Ultimatium, that would still be high but offer a way more punch than before. Also, with the new vocals, the high-pitched parts started so sound a lot better and give more impact, even when in smaller numbers. And we came up a name to that style too, Jörnittäminen 🙂 We literally re-did all the choruses and some of the other parts too with the new style and were excited obviously.

During the re-recording on demos, search for the replacement members of course continued. We had some good applicants for drumming, but didn’t find what we were looking for. Also, Harri had moved further south, we thought it’s best to find a session member to fill the spot for 3rd album at least. So that settled, search continued…

Harri suggested we’d ask Juha Haipus to play the bass for the album and for our luck, he said yes. Not long after that, drummer Matti Auerkallio from Tampere was hired to lay down the drums for the album and that announced, at the early autumn 2012, Vis Vires Infinitus had its first tracks kicked off…

Oh, and during the search for members, we had gotten some positive feedback from labels too, what are the odds for that, but any serious negotiations were waiting for the end results of recordings…
